Abstract excerpt
The differential effects of moxifloxacin and levofloxacin on the development of resistance in four Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates were examined by using an in vitro pharmacodynamic model. Therapeutic regimens (moxifloxacin: peak, 4.5 micro g/ml; half-life [t(1/2)], 12 h; and levofloxacin: peak, 6 micro g/ml; t(1/2), 6 h) were tested against two fluoroquinolone-susceptible isolates (strains 79 and ATCC 49619)...
